Nice looking birds everyone. Really like that splash pullet. I'm back into moderns after losing all my chicks last year. Started out simple this time, a quad of blacks. Can't get their color wrong, ;). May ad a blue of splash hen to it if I can find a decent one, make some blues. Anyway, good luck with everyone's birds :).

The lacing on my little blue pullet is coming in nice.

I'm picking up a blue hen and a splash hen this weekend, to go with my blacks.

I ended up picking up a blue hen, black hen and a pair of splash modern, so that leaves me with 4 black hens and a black cock, and a splash pair and a blue hen. Should be plenty to work with :).

Don't ever think you have completely predator proofed a pen. I had a pen 5ft off the ground with 1/2inch grill wire around it thinking that would keep critters out. Somehow something climbed up and killed my splash rooster and pulled him somehow through that 1/2 inch grill and ate half of him. He was 13 inches tall and they squeezed half of him through that thin wire.somad.gif I am very upset because I was going to use him in a project of mine.he.gif Out of 12 moderns, I am down to 1 cockerel and 4 pullets. Something has killed most of them. I think it has to be coons. I am going to stay up at night and stand guard over my chickens and shoot anything that moves!rant.gif

Very upset right now!

I'm sorry that happened to your birds! If you haven't already got the coon (or coons), set a live trap for the varmit.

Here are some new pictures of a few of my birds

the blue pullet does not have gold in her. The sun was glaring in the pen.

the little splash pullet almost looks like a blue mottled.

I am getting ready to dub the little cockerel.
